What is the most important factor responsible for seasons on earth?

The Sun


What are the changes caused by earths yearlong orbit?

The seasons are the most obvious changes.


What is the most important cause of earths seasons?

The actual most important cause of Earth's seasons is it's axis.


What characteristic of earth is most responsible for the changing of seasons in the northern and southern hemisphere?

if you dont know tell someone who knows ............ ************************************************ When northern hemisphere tilts towards the sun, it is summer in the northern hemisphere, and winter in the southern hemisphere. The seasons reverse when the northern hemisphere tilts away from the sun. The angle that the sun's rays strike the earth's surface, decides the seasons.


Why do the times of sunrise and sunset change does it have to do with the seasons?

* The changes in the time of sunrise and sunset, and the length of days, do depend on the seasons. And the changes of seasons are caused by the relationship of the axis of the Earth in relation to the Sun. The axis of spin of the Earth is not vertical to the plane between the Earth and the Sun. Even though the Earth spins on that axis, and rotates around the Sun, the tilt of the axis never changes. Because of this, the Northern and Southern hemispheres are exposed to more or less sunlight at different times. As a result, when the top of the Earth is in a position where it is closer to the Sun, the Sun's light rays strike well above the Equator, resulting in Summer, and longer days. As the Earth moves farther, eventually the top of the Earth is tilted away from the Sun, resulting most of the light striking the Earth in the Southern hemisphere, causing Winter [shorter days] in the Northern hemisphere, and Summer [longer days] in the Southern hemisphere.

Does the shape of the earth affect the seasons?

While the Earth's orbit is an ellipse rather and a perfect circle, the eccentricity is fairly low, so not much of the seasonal weather changes are due to it. Most of the seasonal changes that we see each year are due to the fact that the Earth is tilted by 23.5 degrees from our orbit. So we have summer where the Earth is tilted toward the sun, and winter where the Earth is tilted away from it.
